Capability-Building Programs

Embedding sustainable talent growth through blended learning programs

PRACTICAL COACHING >

ArcBlue Capability-Building Programs offer a customised and sustainable approach to learning.

Our Capability-Building Programs offer a future-focused approach to sustained talent growth using a program of blended learning, tailored to your team’s requirements.

The key objective is to ensure that your organisation’s procurement function is set up for success now and into the future. Learning programs ensure that skills are being appropriately developed to take your team from their early career into leadership roles. Considered investment in learning and development is a vital factor in talent attraction and retention.

For learners, the benefits are real – having a structured and measurable baseline of knowledge to inform their learning journey, and a customised program of learning that helps them to achieve their career goals.

Embed learning with ArcBlue ‘Practical Coaching’

Practical Coaching is a market-leading initiative aimed at building capability targeting the ‘70%’ of the 70/20/10 learning methodology – experiential learning.

Practical Coaching consists of a series of workshops dedicated to a specific topic – such as negotiation, aimed at hard coding knowledge through application, coaching and reviewing.

Using the participant’s real-life work projects, the coaching sessions are aimed at strengthening and accelerating the way the learner undertakes their work.

The sessions are set up as a safe place for learners to grow, make mistakes and build confidence.

ArcBlue can either train internal champions or run the sessions
Follows a training course, so all participants are on the same level of knowledge
Sessions are scheduled either monthly or every second month and run for approximately 2 hours
We can facilitate them 1.1 or in groups – the groups allow participants to learn from each other’s scenarios
